The White Lotus 3

Max, with new episodes every Monday ★★★★☆

The fictional White Lotus resorts are known for the luxurious pampering of their guests – and murder.

One would think that, by now, the string of uncanny deaths on its global premises would have taken a toll on the hotel brand’s reputation. But like certain quaint English towns inhabited by killer vicars and one indomitable amateur sleuth, the bloodshed has raised no red flags.

Season 3, which premiered on Feb 16, is set in Thailand and, once again, proves that there is nothing more dangerous than a group of bored, upper middle-class Westerners seeking mental wellness.

This time, viewers meet the Ratliff family, headed by the patriarch, financier Timothy (Jason Isaacs), wife Victoria (Parker Posey) and their three children – the alpha male Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), the people-pleaser Lochlan (Sam Nivola) and Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook), a teenager who believes that Eastern spirituality will fix her inner problems.
